Children’s vision protection Nowadays, more and more children have poor eyesight, and there are many reasons for children’s frequent use of the eyes and heavy burden. First of all, the normal distance vision of children in the second and third grade should be 0.8 to 1.0, with a minimum of 0.6. Secondly, whether the child’s eye position is normal, and whether there is “opposite eye”, i.e. medical strabismus. Finally, pay attention to the child’s recognition of colors and whether the field of vision is normal. (Some children can only see in front, but not in the periphery). If there are any abnormalities, you should take your child to a regular hospital for an eye examination. Nowadays, children’s poor vision is caused by: 1. myopia. 2. is farsighted. 3. strabismic amblyopia. 4. other diseases (cone cornea, glaucoma, tumor, etc.) Pre-existing manifestations of myopia in children Parents are reminded here that when you find your child has one or more of the following symptoms, you should consider whether he or she is suffering from early myopia. You should take your child to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to avoid delaying treatment.

(A few parents are reluctant to put glasses on their children, thinking that wearing glasses will deepen their eyesight, but this is not correct.) Here it is recommended that children with myopia can improve their vision through the fitting of keratoplasty lenses, which are hard contact lenses designed and processed through digital precision calculations with a multi-radius reversal geometry, mainly used to curb the further lengthening of the eye axis of adolescents, thus controlling and treating the development of myopia in adolescents. Excimer laser treatment for myopia is not available in the Anqing area and cannot be performed on underage children. How to prevent myopia? This requires you to pay attention to the following points: i. Do not let your child read and write in dark light or sunlight. Second, pay attention to the time spent with the eyes.

For every half hour to an hour of reading or writing, you should close your eyes and rest for five to ten minutes, or look at the scene from a distance. This allows the ciliary muscle, which regulates vision, to rest and recover from vision fatigue early. Some children like to hide in a dark corner to read books, a look is more than half the time, which is very damaging to the eyes, very easy to occur myopia. The posture of the eyes is important.

Seven, watch less TV computer, less play mobile games. The television and computer is a direct light source, the stimulation of the eyes is greater. Children are not suitable for long hours of television (not more than one session at a time) on myopia to be staged prevention and control, grasp the early grasp of small. Actively correct and prevent the development of depth. If myopia has occurred, go to the hospital for an optometrist and wear appropriate glasses. Pseudomyopia can be corrected using the far fog vision method, physical therapy, and medications. Nutrients for myopia 1. Protein: In terms of the sclera (the wall of the eye), it is a tough shell of the eye because it contains many essential amino acids and constitutes a very strong fibrous tissue. Although the sclera has a certain degree of toughness, it is still relatively weak in the anterior and posterior diameter parts of the eye axis. 2, calcium: calcium is the main component of bone and also the main component of sclera. High calcium content plays a major role in enhancing the toughness of the sclera. 3, zinc: myopia patients generally lack chromium and zinc, myopia patients should eat more food containing more zinc. Foods such as soybeans, almonds, nori, kelp, yellow fish, tea, meat, liver, etc. contain more zinc and chromium and can be increased in moderation. 4, vitamins: are essential nutrients for the human body. Although the body’s demand for them is very small, but they play an extremely important role in the body’s material and energy metabolism. When treating myopia with dietary therapy, you should take more vitamins A, B1, B2, C and E as appropriate. A friendly reminder to parents of myopia, pay special attention to the protection of children’s vision! (Myopia has a tendency to be hereditary).
